The answer they are looking for is the last one. However the last two are technically correct but the third one would result in negative work.
The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle is the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular motion.
A. The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Motion of the planet around the star is mentioned to be uniform and around a circular path. Objects in uniform circular motion motion has constant angular speed but the velocity of the object will not remain constant. Since the planet is in circular motion the direction of velocity vector at a particular point is tangential to the circular path at that particular point.
Thus at every point, the direction of velocity vector changes and this means the velocity is never constant. The objects in uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration which means that velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle.
Answer:
966 mph
Explanation:
Using as convention:
- East --> positive x-direction
- North --> Positive y-direction
The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as
While the components of the velocity of the wind are
So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are
And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:
Answer:
Explanation:
Givens
Vi = 10 m/s
Vf = 40 m/s
a = 3 m/s^2
Formula
a = (vf - vi) /t Substitute the givens into this formuls
Solution
3 = (40 - 10) / t Multiply both sides by t
3*t = t(40 - 10)/t Combine. Cancel t's on the right
3*t = 30 Divide by 3
3t/3 = 30 / 3
Answer: t = 10 seconds.
